carbonelThe funeral and three days of shiva are over. I am possibly more peopled out than I ever have been in my entire life -- so of course tonight I'm going to a public event. I won't have to talk much, though; I'm just there to listen to Abby Franquemont, who is a Big Name in the world of spinning.
I'm also taking a two-day course from her over the weekend, which I'm very glad I'm back in time for.
My house is a disaster area, and I don't even know where to start. Note that this is nothing new. It was a disaster area before I left. But two weeks with my neatnik mother makes it look worse than usual. Just before I left, I hired an organizer to help get the place into shape, and then had to put her on hold because of all the other stuff. The essential problems are a) I don't have places for everything, b) I have too damned much stuff, and c) I'd rather do other stuff than organize/clean/put stuff away. I'm working on a) and b), but I'm not sure there's a cure for c).
